Kitchen Planning!

I am the most impatient person I know!!! I'm even annoying myself so I feel very sorry for Scott!

We had an email from our solicitor last week saying that all the searches are back, we are on track for completing before Christmas and a provisional completion date of 31st January.. Was not a bit happy about this whatsoever! We knew it would probably be into January because of Christmas but that's just stupid! So currently negotiations are happening to put this right!

In the meantime I have spent a fortune on stuff in my head, the most recent obsession being our kitchen! When we first brought the house we said 'yeah the kitchens okay but were change it at some point'; but now we have to buy ALL our appliances (including a cooker), I have designed the whole thing!

The Homebase website has a kitchen planner where you can put the dimensions of your room in and then plan the kitchen, it's a bit fiddly but a great time killer!

I wouldn't have a stainless steel sink but otherwise that's quite a close comparison to what I would like! I think it looks pretty smart really!I would quite like a breakfast bar too but I don't think the rooms big enough really. I wish you could do with with all the rooms in the house, that would certainly keep me occupied until we can decorate for real!

We keep having the debate about built in appliances or stand alone or a range, I think Scott's coming round to the idea of a range, I just think they look really good and we can take it with us when we move again if we want to! We will probably keep the fridge/freezer and washing machine stand alone too but integrate the dishwasher.

I am loving Next Homeware too! The rest of my house will be a Next show room at this rate! I have asked for gift vouchers for Christmas so I can fuel my obsession! I am seriously hoping that the January sales are good as I have lots to buy!

We also went to ikea yesterday to have a look around. Much of their stuff is (not so) cheap and tacky but there are also some options there, like their fitted wardrobes, they are quite smart. You can more or less put any combination of drawers/hanging space/shelves etc. that you wish! I also saw the table that I has picked out for my sewing room; it MUCH bigger than I realised which might be a problem with the size of the room! Would be a good space though!
